Another Highway Patrolman to the pile, a 28-1

got a 4" -2, S293567
4" 5 screw, S121394
4" 28 4 screw, S202821
6" 28-3, N957711 (got it NIB from my dear wife maybe 7 years ago) with a sticker with a date of 8/14/83 on the box and "Anderson". Always figured it was a date and a name
The -3 is the one that started me on HPs and the very first I had. I want that one to go in the box with me.

I have seen a few -3s around, and didn't really know what I was looking at. I will have to add one to the "pile" (:D) next time I find one. Not too many of them around!

That's what I found out, Drew was after me for years for it (he has one now)

Mick, I had a 4" 28-3 for years but needed a 6". I was finally able to nail one down a year or so ago. By the time of the -3 engineering change, longer barrels had already fallen out of vogue and this fact made finding the 6" 28-3 pretty tough. Drew
 
mickey, I doubt that they will letter so save your money. lee

I sent out the letter request yesterday on the HP. $50.00? Nope, the printer ink dried up so I had to get that, the ink was more than a new printer (with ink) so I got a new printer, couldn't find any paper the grand kids had not drawn pictures of Mommy, Daddy, Grandpa, Granma, the dog, themselves and what looks like a Rorschach test, with crayons. Stopped by the post office up in Sun City during my lunch break and stood in line with all the blue haired ladies sending Christmas gifts back to the kids the other side of the Mississippi (why do other people's grand kid's baby pictures look so bad) but one noticed my shirt(with company logo) and that worked out into a new customer (maybe). Geez, I just realized I hang around the post office pickin' up old ladies,,, how much lower can this S&W addiction get me?
 
Since Gizamo was always on the hunt for one of these I sent him a PM inviting him to check this out.

I, like most others, pretty much believed the dash 1 to only be a result of a quickly enacted engineering change, only existing on paper. This picture will resurrect the drive in many to find another.

Don't ask, you may just find out.;)
 
Ok, I know that this is an old thread, but I'll bet a lot of us newer members would like to read this information, especially with the recent popularity of the "Ultimate HP thread"...

Best Regards, Les

Thanks Les.
Before seeing this, all I knew was I wanted a "pre-model28 with a 4" barrel".
IF I ever find a -1, I'll be sure to tell Mama it's your fault.
That's what I do here. I've got grips/stocks for Smiths I don't own. She responds with "why did buy those, if you don't blah blah blah....." my response is.....because they are freakin cool.
Just ask Weatherby. Paul has probably hung up on her thinking who was that crazy women? ;)
I hope she calls you someday and gives you hell :p
